Do we have a major UFO flap, or is this typical for this time of year? With more people out and about due to warmer weather, More reports of sightings of "Unidentified flying objects" in the skies over Texas, have been coming in.So far, there are 30 recorded reports for June, 2009. Topping the list in numbers of sightings, is the small town of Breckenridge and the big city of San Antonio, with three each.Just think, if everyone who saw something unusual in our skies would report it, maybe it would force the "powers that be" to acknowledge that something is going on.It pays to keep a sharp eye on the sky. Report your sightings.

Date/Time: 6/24/2009 04:15Location: Austin, TXShape: Circle,Cylinder,DiscDuration: 01:00:00Witness was looking through her glass door when she "noticed a bright 'thing' in the sky because it was the only thing that stood out." It did not appear to be a plane, a star, or helicopter. The object appeared to be rotating and going up and down with out sound. It seemed to be moving very rapidly left to right, then up and down."

A minute of so later, briefly saw an object in the beam of a nearby spotlight, up and to the SW. At roughly 700 ft.(could have been closer), an object appeared. It was rectangular or square, had a slight reddish glow, or maybe that was the color of the object. Object disappeared but as it moved North it blocked out the stars. Moments later saw exact same thing again, only this time it was to the SE."After the first one, I thought I was seeing things, so I rubbed my eyes.

It's very bright. It looks too big to be a plane. Oh my gosh, It just darted to one side, way too fast to be a plane. Now it's just hovering again."The object moved behind some trees, so the young man ran across the grounds, trying to see the object again. "There it is again," he said, "It just disappeared. One instant it was there, then it just disappeared".

*Please note: those "Chem-trails" are actually made of water vapor and possibly traces of fuel.

Date/Time: 6/26/2009 23:50Location: Victoria, TXShape: Star-likeDistance: UnknownDuration: A few minutesWitness states that at 11:50 p.m. on June 26 they saw a star so bright, that they couldn't see anything else around it.

GREENBELT, Md. -- After a four and a half day journey from the Earth, the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, or LRO, has successfully entered orbit around the moon. Engineers at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., confirmed the spacecraft's lunar orbit insertion at 6:27 a.m. EDT Tuesday.

During transit to the moon, engineers performed a mid-course correction to get the spacecraft in the proper position to reach its lunar destination. Since the moon is always moving, the spacecraft shot for a target point ahead of the moon. When close to the moon, LRO used its rocket motor to slow down until the gravity of the moon caught the spacecraft in lunar orbit.

"Lunar orbit insertion is a crucial milestone for the mission," said Cathy Peddie, LRO deputy project manager at Goddard. "The LRO mission cannot begin until the moon captures us. Once we enter the moon's orbit, we can begin to buildup the dataset needed to understand in greater detail the lunar topography, features and resources. We are so proud to be a part of this exciting mission and NASA's planned return to the moon."

A series of four engine burns over the next four days will put the satellite into its commissioning phase orbit. During the commissioning phase each of its seven instruments is checked out and brought online. The commissioning phase will end approximately 60 days after launch, when LRO will use its engines to transition to its primary mission orbit.

For its primary mission, LRO will orbit above the moon at about 31 miles, or 50 kilometers, for one year. The spacecraft's instruments will help scientists compile high resolution, three-dimensional maps of the lunar surface and also survey it at many spectral wavelengths.

The satellite will explore the moon's deepest craters, examining permanently sunlit and shadowed regions, and provide understanding of the effects of lunar radiation on humans. LRO will return more data about the moon than any previous mission.

The witness states that on June 19, 2009 at 2:30 a.m., right as he was crossing from New Mexico into Texas (headed East) on I-40, "there was a brilliant flash of bright green light that was daylight intense in all directions. There was evidence of burning debris falling."

Witness goes on to state, "About 20 minutes later I met 4 truck drivers traveling west bound. They were talking about the green flash of light over them! They were in Vega Tx when it happened. They gave me their exact location. They also said they saw what looked like burning debris falling. We both were thinking it happened above us and we were over 40 miles apart.

Another driver who I talked to about 1 hour later said he was near Shamrock TX and saw the green flash start "way above the clouds and went downward". He could not give a distance estimate, just that is was west of him. There was no sound of anything blowing up. I have served in the military and know what a star shell looks like and ariel burst of munitions looks like. I have never seen anything like this. There was a sheriff near Adrian TX and a state trouper near Vega TX that may have witnessed it. There is also personnel at the NM scale house for the west bound lanes near San Jon NM that may have seen it also. I am a truck driver, just on a routine evening drive. I did not see a 'fireball" just the entire area as far as I could see in any direction was brilliant green. I have no idea what I saw, only that I saw it."

Reports in Texas have dropped off a bit. Most folks are probably too busy with summer activities to stop and file a report. However, up to the middle of June, there have been sightings in Breckenridge, Dallas, San Antonio, Temple and Wake Village.Most reported: unusual lights in the sky, or near the moon, triangular shaped objects and objects that seem to defy all logic, by shape shifting.

The most interesting case so far, has been one that occurred on Friday, May 29, 2009, near Houston. I include this report, as the investigation is ongoing, with the FAA, FBI and Liberty County authorities in search for answers. It was stated that a pilot and co-pilot of a continental airlines flight reported seeing a missile shaped object fly towards their aircraft. The FBI continues it's search for the object and the culprits.

Shortly after takeoff from Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston, the pilot reported a “missile or rocket” flying near his airplane at 8:09 p.m., over Liberty County. It was a year ago (May 2008), that a Continental Airlines pilot reported a similar incident, near the same location.

In this blog, you will read eye witness accounts of UFO sightings, that have been submitted to MUFON, NUFORC and other respected UFO research organizations. Manyof these reports will be of sightings that occurred in the state of Texas.

Only a very few reports are my own sightings. Some reports are those that have been submitted directly to LITS.

On LITS, you will also read editorials, commentary and science news that is pertinent to UFO research and our world today.

It is my goal and that of my colleagues, to search for the truth behind the UFO phenomena, to be respectful of witnesses and to share this truth with the world.

LITS is a non-profit group, with no ties to any government agencies. As concerned citizens, we seek answers to the UFO Phenomena.

If you have witnessed an unidentified flying object, or had an encounter with an unknown aircraft or it's occupants, please contact LITS and submit your report.
